United States Patent 3,308,018 CARBAMATE FUNGICIDES AND NEMATOCIDES Delta W. Gier, Parkville, and Ralph W. Pritchard H, Kansas City, Mo., assignors to Chemagro Corporation, New York, N.Y., a corporation of New York No Drawing. Filed Mar. 11, 1965, Ser. No. 439,069 20 Claims. (Cl. 167-30) The present invention relates to novel fungicides and nematocides.

It is an object of the present invention to kill nematodes.

Another object is to kill fungi.

Still further objects and the entire scope of applicability of the present invention will become apparent from the detailed description given hereinafter; it should be understood, however, that the detailed description and specific examples, while indicating preferred embodiments of the invention, are given by way of illustration only, since various changes and modifications within the spirit and scope of the invention will become apparent to those skilled in the .art from this detailed description.

It has now been found that these objects can be attained by employing as nematocides and fungicides carbamates having the formula Xn Ym where X is chlorine, Y is nitro, Z is methyl or hydrogen, R and R are hydrogen, phenyl, tolyl, chlorophenyl, alkyl or cycloalkyl, n and m are integers from 1 to 3 and p is an integer from 0 to 3 inclusive.

Many of these carbamates are old. Whether new or old the carbamates can be prepared in the manner taught in Lambrech Patent 2,933,383. More preferably, however, they are prepared in the manner set forth below.

Reaction 1 One mole of the appropriate phenol was placed in a round bottom flask equipped with a reflux condenser, 500 ml. of carbon tetrachloride was added as a solvent. One mole of the appropriate isocyanate and a catalytic quantity of pyridine (0.5 ml. of pyridine) was added and the mixture was refluxed for three hours. After standing overnight 300 ml. of hot n-hexane was added. The crude carbamate was precipitated upon cooling, collected by filtration, washed with cold n-hexane and recrystallized from hexane or benzene-hexane mixture.

The compounds employed in the present invention in which at least one of R and R in the formula set forth above is aryl or chlorophenyl are new compounds.

2,4,5 trichloro 6 nitrophenyl N 2,4 dichlorophenyl carbamate.

There also can be employed N,N disubstituted carbamates. These latter type compounds are prepared by the method of Lambrech and include 4-chloro-2-nitrophenyl N,N-dimethyl carbamate, 4-chloro-2-nitrophenyl N,N-diphenyl carbamate, 2,4,S-trichloro-6-nitrophenyl N,N-dibutyl carbamate, 2,4,5-trichloro-6-nitrophenyl N,N-dimethyl carbamate, 2,4,5 -trichloro-6-nitrophenyl N-methyl N-butyl carbamate, 2,4,S-trichloro-6-nitrophenyl N,N-diphenyl carbamate. 2,4,5 trichloro 6 nitrophenyl N,N-di-p-chlorophenyl carbamate, 2,4,5-trichlOr-6-nitr0phenyl N,N-di-o-tolyl carbamate, 2,4,5-trichloro-6-nitrophenyl N,N-diisopropyl carbamate, 2,4,5 trichloro 6 nitrophenyl N,N-di (Z-ethylhexyl) carbamate, 2,4,5-trichloro-6-nitrophenyl N,N-dibutyl car bamate, 2,4,5-trichloro-6-nitrophenyl car'bamate.

The compounds of the present invention can be used alone as nematocides and fungicides but it has been found desirable to apply them to the pest, e.g., to the soil habitat of nematodes, together with inert solids to form dusts, or more prefera-bly,suspended in a suitable liquid diluent, e.g., water. They can be applied at widely varying rates, e.g., 0.130 lbs./acre.

There can also be added surface active agents or wetting agents and inert solids in such liquid formulations. Desira bly, 0.051% by weight of surface active or wetting agent is employed. The active ingredient can be from 0.01 to 95% by weight of the entire composition in such case.

In place of water there can be employed organic solvents as carriers, e.g., hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene, xylene, kerosene, diesel oil, fuel oil, and petroleum naphtha, ketones such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone and cyclohexanone, chlorinated hydrocarbons such as carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, trichloroethylene and perchloroethylene, esters such as ethyl acetate, amyl acetate, and butyl acetate, ethers, e.g., ethylene glycol monomethyl ether and diethylene glycol monomethyl ether, alcohols, e.g., ethanol, methanol, isopropanol, amyl alcohol, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, butyl carbitol acetate and glycerine. Mixtures of water and organic solvents, either as solutions or emulsions, can be employed.

The novel pesticides can also be applied as an aerosol, e.g., by dispersing them in air by means of a compressed gas such as dichlorodifluoromethane or trichlorofluoromethane and other Freons, for example.

The pesticide of the present invention can also be applied with nematocidal and fungicidal adjuvants or carriers such as talc, pyrophylite, synthetic fine silica, attapulgus clay, kieselguhr, chalk, diatomaceous earth, lime, calcium carbonate, bentonite, fulle-rs earth, cottonseed hulls, wheat flour, soybean flour, pumice, tripoli, wood flour, walnut shell flour, redwood flour and lignin.

It is frequently desirable to incorporate a surface active agent in the pesticidal compositions of the present invention. Such surface active or wetting agents are advantageously employed in both the solid and liquid compositions. The surface active agent can be anionic, cationic or nonionic in character.

Typical classes of surface active agents include alkyl sulfonate salts, alkylaryl sulfonate salts, alkyl sulfate salts, alkylamide sulfonate salts, alkylaryl polyether alcohols, fatty acid esters of polyhydric alcohols and the alkylene oxide addition products of such esters, and addition products of long chain mercaptans and alkylene oxides. Typical examples of such surface active agents include the sodium alkylbenzene sulfonates having 10 to 18 carbon atoms in the alkyl group, alkylphenyl ethylene oxide condensation products, e.g., p-isoctylphe-nol condensed with 10 ethylene oxide units, soaps, e.g., sodium stearate and potassium oleate, sodium salt of propylnaphthalene sulfonic acid, (di-2-ethylhexyl) ester of sodium sulfosuccinic acid, sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium salt of the sulfonated m-onoglyceride of cocoanut fatty acids, sorbitan sesquioleate, lauryl trimethyl ammonium chloride, octadecyl trimethyl ammonium chloride, polyethylene glycol lauryl ether, polyethylene esters of fatty acids, and rosin acids, e.g., Ethofat 7 and 13, sodium N-methyl-N-oleyltaurate, Turkey red oil, sodium dibutylnaphthalene sulfonate, sodium lignin sulfonate (Marasperse N), polyethylene glycol stearate, sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate, tertiary dodecyl polyethylene glycol thioether (Nonionic 218), long chain ethylene oxide-propylene oxide condensation products, e.g., Pluronic 61 (molecular weight 1000), sor-bitan sesquioleate, polyethylene glycol ester of tall oil acids, sodium octyl phenoxyethoxyethyl sulfate, tris (polyoxyethylene) sorbitan monostearate (Tween 60), sodium dihexyl sulfosuecinate, a tris (polyoxylalkylene) monolaurate (Tween 20).

The solid and liquid formulations can be prepared by any of the conventional procedures. Thus, the active ingredient can be mixed with the solid carrier in finely divided form in amounts small enough to preserve the free-flowing property of the final dust composition.

The compounds of the present invention are useful as soil fungicides, seed protectants, seed disinfectants, foliar fungicides and in other fungicidal applications.

In the following examples illustrating nematocidal and fungicidal activity the carbarnates were in some cases formulated as wettable powders consisting of 50% of the carbamate, 46% ultra-fine silica, 2% sodium lignin sulfonate and 2% Pluronic L-61 (polyethylene oxidepolypropylene oxide adduct molecular weight about 1000). This wettable powder is hereinafter designated as Formulation A.
